Abstract: A microgeometric electric field machine includes arrays of conductors formed on or carried by a plurality of substrates. The conductors on a first group of substrates carry electrical charges, with alternate conductors being charged positively and the other conductors being charged negatively. A second group of substrates are interleaved with the first group in close proximity therewith. Also included is a voltage source for successively supplying alternate positive and negative electrical charges to the conductors of the second group of substrates. Effectively a pattern of alternate positively and negatively charged conductors is established for the second group of substrates and these patterns are caused to move, relative to the substrates, along the arrays of conductors to produce "moving" electric force fields which cause one group of substrates to move with respect to the other group. The substrates may be in the form of stacked discs with the conductors being radially positioned thereon, where one group of discs is caused to rotate with respect to another group. Alternatively, the substrates may be in the form of stacked planes with the conductors positioned in parallel thereon, where one group of planes is caused to move linearly with respect to the other group, and in a direction perpendicular to the conductors. The configuration of the substrates, positioning of the conductors, and interleaving of the substrates and conductors could take a variety of forms.

Abstract: A hinged sliding door for passenger-conveying vehicles, in particular rail vehicles, whose door leaf (1) can be slid in its longitudinal direction on a guide element (3), the guide element being swivellable transversely to the plane of the door leaf by means of cranks (4, 5) with vertical crankshafts (8, 9). The cranks (4, 5) form, together with this guide element (3) and the door frame (17), a four-bar linkage with opposing cranks. As a result, it is achieved that the door leaf (1) assumes a highly inclined position when the guide element (3) swivels, by means of which position the leading edge of the door leaf is lifted out of the door opening. The cranks (4, 5) are expediently of the same length. In order to coordinate the sliding and swivel movement, the door leaf is guided at its upper and lower end by guide rails (10).

Abstract: Access control equipment comprises an interrogation unit (IU) having means (14) for emitting an interrogation signal, and a plurality of transponders (e.g. T), each transponder (T) having a stored identity code different from that of the other transponders (T). This identity code comprises a plurality of fields each holding a selected information bit. The interrogation signal is controlled so as simultaneously to interrogate the fields of all transponders (T) within range in a serial manner. A group reply signal is sent back to the interrogation unit (IU) from any transponder (T) having, in the field being interrogated, a bit matching that required by the interrogation signal. The interrogation unit (IU) is arranged to determine, from the series of received reply signals, the identity of each and every valid transponder (T) within range.

Abstract: An epicyclic reduction gear has an internally meshing epicyclic gear means (100; 600) and a planetary epicyclic gear means (130; 630) engaging with the former. One of an internal gear (108; 602) and a flange (115; 608) in the internally meshing epicyclic gear means works as an output member, and the other as a fixed member. The rotation of an input shaft (131; 631) of the planetary epicyclic gear means is transmitted to a planetary carrier via an external sun gear (132; 635) and a planetary gear (133; 636) to rotate the planetary carrier in the direction in which the input shaft is rotated. The rotation of the planetary carrier is transmitted to the output member via at least one eccentric member (102a, 102b; 613a, 613b) and at least one external gear (103a, 103b; 601a, 601b) in the internally meshing epicyclic gear means to rotate the output member in the direction opposite to the direction in which the planetary carrier is rotated. The rotation transmitted from the external sun gear to the planetary gear is further transmitted therefrom to the planetary carrier, eccentric member, external gear, output member and internal sun gear (138; 640) in the mentioned order and then returned to the planetary gear, the transmitting of this rotation being done in a closed loop.
